Contractors want one thing from the Government’s RMA overhaul: a simpler system. 

Ministers are today announcing significant changes to consenting as part of a shake-up to the Resource Management Act. 

It's expected to cut the need for consents in 46% of cases that currently need them. 

Civil Contractors NZ CEO Alan Pollard told Heather du Plessis-Allan RMA is the biggest barrier to getting projects off the ground quickly. 

He says the act is complicated, vague, and creates significant costs.
